Oscar Predictions (October Edition)

Are we down to a two-horse race already in October? With The Brutalist and Anora lighting up the festival circuit, it feels like everything else is playing catchup. While there are still films that are solidly in there like Emilia Perez and Conclave, there are a decent amount of films that can easily be subbed out as more films are seen. I would be surprised if there isn't at least one major change next month. More Categories coming soon.
